Not set in any single location, the organic conversations that largely are the impetus of the creative process of comedy are what we trying to capture. With only multiple guests at a time at comedy clubs, dive bars, coffee shops, and more, "This Better Be Funny" cuts through the rambling of many free-form comedy podcasts and instead follows where ever "the rabbit hole" of a joke may lead (or, in some cases, end when the idea is clearly not going anywhere).The "This Better Be Funny" podcast simply has com…This Better Be Funnyfeeds@soundcloud.comThis Better Be Funnynohttp://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000007834416-am731a-original.jpgThis Better Be Funnyhttp://soundcloud.com/this-better-be-funny

Given Jeremy's nickname as 'Evil' coming from living in the projects, they have their guest tell the most embarrassing, shameful story they'll admit to in an attempt to "out-despicable" Jeremy. After their story, they'll pick the story Jeremy will tell from a few titles only and based on Jake's sheltered, privileged judgment, the guest might win a prize in the form of a cassette tape of their choice if they beat out Jeremy Paul depraved gentleman's contest.
The guest/contestant this week is Alex Hooper who has carved his way into the LA Comedy scene with his stand up as well as great comedy shows on rooftops and in warehouses and, man oh man, does he have one hell of a story about ignoring your friends in who you're taking home from the bar for this Despicable Edition of TBBF.

Surprisingly, there's a good amount of porn and non-porn booths, a thing that Jake is quick to notice and, no surprise here, they run into a comedian at a porn convention, Alex Loulis. Whether you'll find out if Jake causes a scene or has a panic attack as boobs and penises are on screens everywhere, you'll just have to listen to the whole episode.
Also, apologies for all the bad hip hop playing in the background.tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/83888373This Better Be Funny Ep. 64 with Cornell ReidTue, 19 Mar 2013 02:19:06 +0000https://soundcloud.com/this-better-be-funny/this-better-be-funny-ep-64

Of course, by "business as usual", what's meant is suggesting South Central LA isn't that dangerous to walk around, saying things that, heard out of context, would be bizarre at best to real strangers walking by as an example, and discussing the finer points of "pathetic loser" etiquette of placing dollars on the stage at a strip club.
